Skoda BlueSport Roadster looking likely

Skoda looks likely to build a version of the VW BlueSport Concept - The Skoda Roadster.

At the time we reported, we thought thought that Skoda’s image might be a little too down-market still for this little Roadster. We thought it more likely that Audi and VW would be the main producers, and maybe Porsche, as an entry-level model. But Motor Authority seem to think different, and they’ve got a pretty impressive rendering from Schulte Design, who are usually pretty much on the money with these things.

This is a pretty impressive view of what the Skoda Roadster would look like as a nimble, mid-engined Roadster. And it does actually make a lot of sense. Skoda has now moved to a point where it is on a par with parent company VW in the perception of the quality of its cars, and this could move Skoda centre stage; able to be more than just a cheap way to get a VW.

A fair way to go yet before the Bluesport Brothers (from whichever VW/Porsche/Audi/Skoda/SEAT etc stable they appear from) as the cars are unlikely to surface for at least a couple of years. But this looks promising.
